A Bit Of History.
General Lee was offered command o

General Lee was offered command of
the Union army.
General Simon Cameron, in an inter.
view on his eighty.eighth birthday,
states positively that General Robert E.
Lee was offered the command of the
union armies at the beginning of the
late war. General Lee declined the
honor and came South. 1t is interesting
to think what would have been the result
of the war if General Lee had been in
command of the union forces. Our
judgment is that we should have had
very much shorter war than was actually
fought. General Cameron says:
"Of all my experiences with public
men and events none we're so interesting
as those which brought the country to
the settlement of the slavery question on
the field of battle. There was a great
deal of by.play in the beginning that has
not been heard of yet. 1t is true that
General Robert E. Lee was rendered the
command of the union army. 1t was the
wish of Mr.. Lincoln's administration
that as many as possible Of the Southern
officers then in the regular army should
remain true to the nation which educated
them. Robert E. Lee and Joseph E..
Johnston were then the leading Southern
soldiers. Johnston was quartermaster
general and Lee colonel of cavalry.
"In the moves and counter moves in
the game of war and peace then going on
Francis P. Blair, ST., was a prominent
figure. The tender of the command of
our forces was made to General Lice
through him. Mr.. Blair came to me
expressing the opinion that General Lee
could be held to our cause by the offer of
the chief command of our forces. I
authorized Mr.. Blair to make the offer.
then dismissed the matter from my
mind as nearly as I could such an impor-
tant subject, for I supposed from what
Mr.. Blair had said, that General Lee
would certainly accept. labored under
this impression up to the time that bis
resignation was received. Whether
General Lee ever seriously considered
the matter I do not personally know.
From what Senator Blair said to me !
never had any doubt at the time but that
he did. My surprise was very great
when the resignation was received and
General Lee went South"

The Jansenites Of Judaism.

The Slavonic novelist, NJ. Saeher-
Masoch, has recently given an interesting
lecture to Pcris audience on the Jewish
sects In Galicia, In the course OF which he
described the Karaites, who acknowledge
only the first book of Moses as their re-
Igious guide. The Karaites, said the
eminent Jewish author, are the Jansen
ties Of Judaism. They base their beliefs
on the love of the divine; they are virtu-
ous for virtues sake. Where reason and
revelation agree, they say, we accept them
as two excellent things, but where they
disagree we must hold with revelation, for
If reason had been sufficient revelations
would have been superfuous.
The Karaites consider that it is not al
lowed to discuss the fundamental basis
of revelation. Another Of their precepts
is: eff you cannot do that which you
would like to do you must be willing to
do what you can" The life Of the Kara
ties is very virtuous; they pray in He
brew, with bent heads. In the east they
never light fire, and in Galicia, where
the. climate is more rigorous, they let
Christians light it for them. The sect
numbers about 40, 900 in Galioia. One Pc
culiarity by which they are distinguished
from all other Jews Is that they consider
that commerce in goods which they them
selves have not produced to be Illicit, FOR
which reason they are nearly all agricul-
turists or stewards. Until lately they
were exempt from military service, but at
present they are employed in the ambu-
lances. NJ. Sacher- -Masoch states, on the
authority. Of a historian, that no Karaite
has been condemned in any law court In
Poland for the last four centuries.

When ra,maee Wanted to Laugh.


DR.. Talmage told me the other day that
he never suffered 80 much from the prop
rieties as once when he ought to have
risen to make the opening prayer Of q
service, but could not do 1t on account of
an overpowering desire to laugh. He was
in country church sitting alone on q
little platform waiting for the minute
when he should begin and gravely prepar-
ing his mind, when the door opened and
gentleman and two ladies entered. They
were city people and they wanted that
fact known. The ladies were very ex-
pensively dressed, but the man was a
curiosity. He was appareled with the
care of q debutante at a White House ball.
His eyebrows and mustache were dyed
Jet black, and his cheeks showed traces OF
powder and paint, while his shape suggested
STAYS. He strutted to seat with the air
OF a peacock on parade.
The ladies sat down and their escort
fourished in after them and dropped him
self between them on bench. The bench
broke. Then stirring scene was enacted.
The gentleman had fallen through to the
floor and was caught between the splint-
cred ends of the seat. He wriggled help
lessly and lost his eyeglasses and cane and
hat. The look Of misery and fright on bis
face succeeding the proud dignity that
had previously sat there was too much
for DR.. Talmage. He wanted to get out
into ten acre field and whoop. He could
not help laughing, and had to put his
handkerchief up to his face and pretend
that he hada very bad cough Rambler"

specimen Gamblers At Monaco.


There was, as an attache later informed
me, { an sunexcept tionable assemb1age Of
players at our table that evening. Oppo-
Site to where sat was q cadaverous look
ing old woman whose selfish greed caused
her eagerly to clutch at the stakes when
ever she was fortunate enough to win.
The revolving expression Of ber face, Il at
that moment caught and faithfully trans
ferred to canvas by painter, would rem
der the latter immortal. One individual
present appeared to attract more than
ordinary attention. Tall, well proporioned
and with frank, open countenance, he
seemed to have entered the game with the
sole purpose of winning the entire capital
held by the croupier. The latter regarded
him with evident uneasiness as he coolly
proceeded to double all bets and invariably
win. At length he staked 4, 600 francs on
the turn, and with q cynical smile arose,
having performed what is regarded as the
extraordinary feat of breaking the bank,
after which all play was suspended at that
particular table.
Gamblers are, perhaps, the most super
stitious of any other class Of people, none
being more so than the roulette dealers at
Monte Carlo. Hence it invariably fol-
lows that whenever the bank is broken
the play of the unlucky dealer ceases until
the following day, under the belief that
the fortune Of both parties will meanwhile
change.-Cor. Boston Commercial Bulle-

TEACHING JACK A TRICK.
Tho Story of an Amiabie but Stubborn
Irish Setter-Victory at Last.

The Story Of all Amiabie but Stubborn
Irish setter-victory at Last.
heard a dog story the other day that
should serve as q text in a reformatory
school, or, to bring 1t nearer home, to
some people as an argument in favor OF
educational discipline. The hero of this
tale Is an Irish setter, amiable enough, but
stubborn, and trained only to be good. He
never showed any special talent, save to
"keep house" and live up to his canine IN.
stincts Of barking at seedy looking stran-
gers and evincing proper affection tor
the family whom he honored with his
maintenance. Not very long since a
young relative Of this family undertook
+, to teach Jack trick. He was told the
dog was too stubborn to learn anything,
it was useless wasting time over him; but
the more objection thrown in his way tho
more the young man persisted, for he saia
1t was time Jack knew something, and he
had just taught his own dog several anus
ing tricks which Jack must and should
acquire forthwith. Whereupon he called
Jack into the dining room, shut the door
and began his task Of making the creature
ait up and give his paw.
In itself nothing could be more simple.
It Is the very kindergarten Of canine cul-
ture, but Jack didn't see 1t in that light.
He would not sit up nor would he give
his paw. Over and over again, with the
GREATEST patience, was the instruction
given, while Jack, in the most idiottc
way, refused to hear what was told MIN.
After two hours labor the poor dogs
kind mistress begged that he might be ex-
cused. "Nol' was the stern answer,
'tI've begun and must go on now or the
dog will be ruined" Finally, owing to
the lateness of the hour, the disciplinarian
led Jackinto the cellar, where the house,
hold would not be disturbed, and then re-
newed the contest with little more
severity. AS the clock str2lck 10 the
brute seemed to get it through his pate
that unless he obeyed like gentleman be
would have to stay there all night. So
he sat up and topped a tawny paw just
oncel This was enough, the fight was
over and the victor rushed away to take
the last car home.
Jack never told any one Of that nights
experiences; perhaps no one thought to
ask him about 1t, or IL he would kindly
exercise his dearly acquired accomplish
ments. At all events, weeks passed away
ere his new master and conqueror came
again to the house. One night Jack heard
the voice at the front door, and with the
impetuosity peculiar to his race he threw
himself headlong against the visitor, and
then, suddenly withdrawing, sat down on
his haunches and held up paw. The
victory had been complete, and Jack had
remembered his lesson.-Boston Herald.

Stealing Boulanger's New Explosive.
Gen. Boulanger has instituted search
ing inquiry into robbery Of about kilo-
gramme Of the new explosive melinite.
The robbery was, it is stated, committed
during the night Of Feb. at the powder
magazine of Sevran, where the new explo-
sive is kept in special magazine. The
workmen employed in the manufacture OF
the melinite are subject to the strictest OF
rules and are carefully searched before
leaving their workshops, which, together
with the magazines, are surrounded
by wall three meters in height.
Notwithstanding all the precautions
which have been taken, a guard
employed inside the magazine to watch
the stoves in which the powder prepared
during the day is dried at night, thought
he saw two men Sinking out of the maga-
zine. Instead of running after them the
man on duty in the magazine warned the
guard outside. The soldiers and the
gendarmes from Livry at once beat the
country all round that magazine, In or
near which no one was discovered, but the
following morning it was perceived that
the door of the special magazine in which
the melinite is kept had been opened and
that about kilogamme Of that explosive
had been purloined.- Standard.

An Unhappy Emperor.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 19.--The
following is an authorized official decla-
ration concerning the attempt upon the
life of the Czar: 1t is not believed that
the active section of the Constitutional
party has such an extensive and inauen.
tial following as some foreign journals
represent. The Constitutionalist, instead
of being wholly distinct from the Nihi-
list, are nothing but the executors of q
milder programme, cloakiDg the violent
methods of Nihilism 80 as to secure a
certain amount of tolerance from the
educated and thoughtful classes in Rus
sia. The Cars advisers are convinced,
from long observation, that the inauen-
tial classes in Russia do not consider that
the time has yet arrived in the political
development of the Empire for the intro.
duction of Constitutional government
by his Majesty. Nor do the Panslavist
party desire constitutionalism. On the
contrary they declare that an autocratic
form of government, tempered by a just
administration of the codi6ed law, is
desirable until Russian territorial expan-
sion has reached the limits set for it by
Panslavist ideas.
State socialism, recently promoted in
Germany by Prince Bismarck, is being
carefully studied by the Russian Govern.
ment, and the Gar being we'll disposed
in favor of such progressive economic
changes in the territories under the
Russian sway as shall conduce to the
happiness and welfare of the Russian
people. The Gar was deeply impressed
by the terrible circumstances under
which his father met his death. The last
attempt upon his own life, projected by
Nihilists, produced affecting of horror.
Still it is unlikely that it will lead to a
change ofhis previous policy. His Majes-
ty cannot but view with mingled bitter
ness and regret the position in which he
is placed by threats and perils continually
besetting him. he deplores the necessity
which constantly exists for costly exten-
sive precautions for his personal safety
whenever he desires to travel or even to
move beyond the precincts of the palace,
restrictions which impede his movements
and prevent his seeing his people as they
are and Judging for himself concerning
their needs. The Cars aversion to
plunging Russia into a ruinous and
fruitess war continues as great as ever.
No change in his convictions in that res
pect is expected by his advisers, except
in conformity with views on Russian
imperial interests.

name is Moses, Ex. Governor Moses, of
South Carolina. This old culprit is
pretty we'll broken down physically. He
is an object of pity, for if he were set
loose to. day he would be utterly unable
to do anything for himself. He is man
of medium height, with hollow cheeks
and sunken eyes. The officials say he

asked him few days ago what was the
cause of the breaking up of his health.
He replied that it was the effect of opium,
to which he had beer addicted for many
years. This may explain the consump.

Oldest Cr SITS on Earth.

"Alaskan Indians are perhaps the oldest
race of cremationists on the face of the
earth. All their dead, except their medi-
cine men, are burned. The crematory Is
very simple, yet nevertheless, effective:
When corpse is to be cremated, 1t is first
removed from the house through the hole
in the roof, or through an aperture made
in one Of the walls by removing log, Ut
is bad luck to carry it out through the
door and carried to funeral pyre OF
wood built in the form Of hollow rect
angle, measuring four feet long, four feet
wide, and from three to six feet In depth.
Tho corpse Is bundled into the pyre, which
Is then lighted. Dry cord wood Is then
thrown in on top Of the corpse until the
opening is filled. The relatives sit around
the burning pile four or five hours until
everything is consumed. The cremation
is always complete. The ashes OF the
dead man, and Of course moro or less
wood ashes, are gathered ur, placed in q

superstitions Concerning Toothaohe.

In some parts of Sussex, England, there
is superstition that If you put on your
right stocking, right shoe and right trou-
ser leg before the left you will never have
toothache. Todrink out Of q skull taken
from graveyard, to take tooth from
such skull and wear it round the neck,
to apply the tooth to your own living but
aching tooth, to put a double nut into
your pocket, to pare your finger nails and
toe nails and wrap the parings in paper
all are charms against the toothache.
In other parts Of England there is q Gus
tom of calling the toothache the 'love
pain,n for which the sufferer is not en-
titled to any commiseration.. Whether hs
or she fully consents to this may, perhaps,
be doubted,-Iron Times.
